Task 7: Looking back at our preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt.

This is an example of where we used The Continuity Rule.


Looking back at our preliminary task and now looking at our final project, you can see how much we have progressed especially in editing. We can tell that we have defiantly improved on the match on action rule, this is where you join clips together to make one scene. We can see a difference in how we edited our preliminary to our film opening, this is as some of our scenes were cut to early and didn't have transitions to let the shots run through smoothly and not suddenly jump from one scene to another.

However unlike in the preliminary task we did not use the shot/reverse rule, this is as we felt it was not necessary as we didn't really have two characters in each clip at once. We did not have more than one character in each scene as we decided that if we did the contrast wouldn't be as clear, and it would have defeated the whole point of our film opening. This is because our film opening is all about introduction the two main characters and there differences, so it would not have worked well using this rule.

We also use the continuity rule in both task, you can see we learnt from the preliminary task as the rule worked really well in our film opening with no sighted faults. Also in the preliminarytask you can see that the continuity rule was not as successful as it jolts and doesn't really fit in with scene before.
